2009-10: Returned to Portugal after and outstanding season and signed with Vitoria. Showed why he was so hotly pursued as he paired with fellow B3 player Rod Nealy took Vitoria to the top of the standings into an immediate contender. Had double figure assists on two occasions vs Porto (11/15/10) and vs Benfica (12/13/09). Showed his great court vision by rankding 9th in league in assists by dishing out 4.1apg. Recorded a season high 25pts on two occasions as well vs CAB (1/10/10) and against his former team Academia (3/28/10) when he also went 3-5 from beyond the 3pt line. Also played a strong game and registed 7 rebounds and 23pts vs league champs Benfica. Lead his team all the way to the league semi-finals before being defeated at the hands of their rivals Benfica! Because of his outstanding play, he was Named to the Eurobasket all 2nd team for the season.
2008-09: Signed with Academica de Coimbra of Portugal UZO and had a fantastic regular season. Such a great season he was named to the Eurobasket all 1st team for the season. Also named to the All-Imports team. Had a thigh injury which caused him to miss 10 games but was super effective when he was healthy. Posted a regular season high 28pts vs Fisica on 10/25/08 to go with 5rebs, 3 assists, a blocked shot and a steal. Grabbed a season high 9 rebounds to go along with 4 assists, 2 steals and 14pts against Ginasio on 2/21/09.

Led a team whose goal was to be to stay in the top league to a 5th place finish and then into the playoffs. Made short work of Vagos in the first round and Karlton was on point averaging nearly 19ppg in that playoff series while shooting a hot 40% from behind the arc (8-20) in the 3-1 series victory. Matched up with Benfica in the semi finals and pushed the regular season champions to the limit.

2007-08: Signed with Fjolnir of the Iceland Express League to start the season and established himself as the premier player in the league posting better than 22ppg, while grabbing 5apg and dishing out just about the same number of assists in 5apg. His illuminating play drew many eyes and Portuguese powerhouse Benfica came calling. Karlton got out of his Icelandic contract and was quickly signed where he continued his fantastic play.

Again he dished out more than 5 apg to lead the team and place him in the top 3 in the league.
2006-07: Signed with Parvoon Tarmo of the Finnish Korisliiga. Was a great addition to the team and played the PG spot full time.

A
super quick, well rounded combo guard. A natural point but quite
often forced to the shooting guard position because of his great
ability to score and shoot the ball. Fantastic condition and
possessing GREAT upper body strength. Sees the floor REALLY
well and can lead a team. As a defender he is a menace in the
passing lane and will disrupt and offense from ever getting into
their flow. On the ball can apply great pressure and will have
some backcourt steals leading to easy layups. Off the ball can
create his own shot and rotates easily into the scoring guard
mentality. An exceptional FT shooter whom always has the ball
in his hands at the end of games to ensure no TO and if he is fouled
is the right player to have on the line. A great addition to
any backcourt .
